Has anyone tested the 200gr Nolser JHP bullets for expansion at +1200 FPS?  I'm not worried about the media they were fired into (wetpack, water, mud, clay, gel,....whatever), any knowledge would be fine with me as long as the impact velocity was over 1200 FPS.

If you're interested, Nosler says their 200gr JHP bullet overall length is .674".

This guy tested the Double Tap loading of the 200 grain Nosler JHP from a Glock 29.  Good results.

There's a good chance the bullet in the video never hit 1100 FPS.

Yeah...I was having the same thought as I posted.  Pretty uniformly 10mm loses about 150 fps between a 5" and a 3" barrel.  And since Double Tap is not known for making their velocity....these might not even be above 1000.

But, hey it is something.  And I don't think the performance is going to vary a bunch from a 15% increase in velocity.

I shudder to think.  Then again it just pisses me off how they plainly outright lie.  Your 1000 or less FPS guess very well may be closer to reality than my 1100 or so FPS guess.  Uuuuuuugh.

Okay, I'm taking a chill pill.

Chopinbloc has the DT 200's but hasn't done them yet.

It'll be great to see what he comes up with when he gets around to testing them.  Too bad the velocity will probably be a joke.

Advertised 1250 and gave me 1150. He will probably hit the block about 1120 FPS or so with them.

It's a Glock 29, IC.  Lacking about 2" of barrel length from the guns you tested.

That puts us right at 1000 fps when you subtract the 150 fps rule of thumb from 5" barrel to 3" barrel.

I came here to post this. I'll do them soon.

Tax season is over so I should have a babysitter (my mom is a tax preparer) more often and I might be able to get back to doing a test a week.

Ah...I see.  The "He" is not the guy in the video, but Chopinbloc.

Any chance you would chrono 2 or 3 rounds to give us an idea of the velocity when they hit the gel from your gun?

Anything you like.


If the velocity does turn out to be a little low, I'll see if I can buy some and work up a load.

That's awesome.  Helps seeing a bigger overall picture to what's all going on.

I will see if I can shoot some wet pack this weekend with the Nosler 200gr JHP (1200+ fps) and the Nosler 180 JHP (1270-1300 fps) . All depends if I have to work or not.
